Media Advisory - Enerplus Supports the Fight Against Hunger with the United Way

CALGARY, Nov. 24, 2011 /CNW/ - Canadian oil and gas producer Enerplus is
adding its energy to help the United Way and their fight to end hunger.

In November, the annual Enerplus United Way campaign raised almost
$290,000 through employee contributions and corporate matching to
support the United Way in both Calgary and Red Deer. The focus of the
Enerplus campaign has been to join the fight against hunger by
supporting the "Food and More" program. We recognize that more than
20,000 Calgary and area kids go to school hungry every day, and through
the United Way, over 250,000 breakfasts, lunches and snacks were served
to children in 2010. The "Food and More" program is developing an
innovative on-line purchasing, tracking and distribution system that
maximizes the purchasing power of every dollar donated towards feeding
the hungry. It is estimated that the organizations using the
purchasing system will be able to buy food for those in need at 25
percent below market value.

Since 1988, Enerplus has been a proud partner of the United Way,
donating more than $3.5 million through corporate and employee
contributions.
